Don’t you love it when cooking isn’t really cooking at all? I picked up this overpriced bag of salad that was on a crazy sale at the store and my kids wrestled the bowl from my hands and ate my lunch.

Maybe it didn’t happen exactly like that, but the truth is that they did eat the salad I bought for myself with gusto after I had already shared some of it. They gave me stink eye, sniffed it warily, took tentative bites, and then wanted more. I read the contents of the expensive bag of weeds and it was easy enough to buy the components on the cheap and make more for less.
